      Still not a ton of details so I’m for sure not jumping to any conclusions, especially with how shitty Tesla’s are and their safety record…

      But, Trump Tower and a Cyber truck certainly is the perfect symbolic intersection of Donald Trump and Elon Musk. If one did want to make a symbolic statement about the two, I don’t know if I can think of a better intersection. Can you?

      Obviously it’s not proof of anything and Tesla’s fucking suck. But I at least can comprehend why the perfection of the symbolism is noteworthy to people.

      Edit: I see in a follow up comment buddy is linking it to New Orleans. I see no connection.

      Coincidence with this the same day as New Orleans. Reasons it was a man made act. 1) I’ve seen information of Teslas spontaneously catching fire, but I haven’t seen that they blow up. 2) when you watch the vid, the vehicle was smoking for some time. What was a person still in there for? 3) the explosion itself. The explosion appears to be low order like fireworks and originated in the passenger side rear, blowing out the rear first.

      Wouldn’t be surprised is all I’m saying.

        A lot of crime happened on this day across the US, why the New Orleans specifically?

        Fire can lead to explosions, especially in giant batteries. Also, fireworks.

        You saw, and understood the smoke. Many people don’t notice, or don’t question. Some people drive for weeks on low oil and when questioned about why they just say “there was a weird smell, but I didn’t know what it was.”

        The explosion was an explosion? Ummm, yeah?

        I don’t understand what you’re trying to say, you wouldn’t be surprised of what?

          If you really want to discuss, don’t start by discounting what I said in the first place.

          A lot of crime happened on this day across the US, why the New Orleans specifically?

          Because the New Orleans perpetrator died as a martyr, and here we have another.

          Fire can lead to explosions, especially in giant batteries. Also, fireworks.

          Great, so how many Teslas have exploded?

          You saw, and understood the smoke. Many people don’t notice, or don’t question. Some people drivet Orleans for weeks on low oil and when questioned about why they just say “there was a weird smell,ira but I didn’t know what it was.”

          Fair enough. But you might notice the floor getting hot

          H>I don’t understand what you’re trying to say, you wouldn’t be surprised of what?

          I wouldn’t be surprised if the ATF found it to be a planned act.

            Will you look at that, seems like it was indeed a terroristic attack, if not at least a political statement.

            When you’re right, you’re right.
